The Big Win (1911)

Overview

Proprietor Madsen is trying to charm the kitchen maid, Stine, and gives her a lottery ticket for Christmas. If she is lucky, she will win the most beautiful farm in the country, so Madsen writes down the number of the lottery ticket and keeps a watchful eye on the lucky numbers. Draw by draw is made public, but the ticket does not win, and Stine grows impatient. So when the farmhand Klaus offers to buy the ticket, Stine sells. The next drawing brings Klaus the win and Stine now has a problem with Madsen, who had planned to get his hands on both her and the big prize. (Stumfilm.dk).
